I have been using lossless compression for the past two years and have not noticed any detrimental changes.

Today is the last day of our office 😀

Looks like you got a nice mix of light, the foreground element just has to be there. 😎

At first looking at the larger size, my eyes kept trying to insert colors in the sky, need to have 'em checked I guess!

Really nice. I have the Goodwood Revival still on my list. Would love to see more images.

Cheers,
Pete

The light is great, and so is the soupy atmosphere… I'd be happy with this one!

Just an aside – I think this image is going to “go viral” as it's said. I already linked to it on Stereophile's review of a very fine $17k loudspeaker pair – it makes the point that there are great choices of gear in the marketplace for people who are willing to invest in them.

That gave me a good chuckle. Imagine what some of these guys have to do when they're pixel-peeping those gigapixel images that Google and others put together. I don't have the S, but having the MM and X Vario and seeing the detail as well as the integrity from edge to edge, I wouldn't second-guess the S or any of the lenses. I can't imagine anyone…[Read more]

I bought the X1 in early 2010 and donated it to my photo club after getting the X Vario. If the X…[Read more]

The key image has been linked to from TOP:

It allowed viewers world wide to pixel-peep at the detail. Some have suggested that the lens is not as good as they expected from a Leica, so I blew up a segment at the edge of the shot after downloading it…[Read more]

Please post positives, not-so-positives and any suggested firmware changes you may have based on actual use.

Thanks!

Hello David,

do you have any news from Leica ?

I am about to give up on the X Vario: as it is now, it does not fit my…[Read more]

Dale,
In answer to your questions and comments:
1.In the rain, the S shines, as it is a very water resistant system. No umbrellas are allowed in the stands as they would restrict the view of fans behind the umbrella. The rain stopped by the start of the game, but I had a rain parka with hood in case I needed it. Tripods are not allowed either,…[Read more]

Very nice images. I hadn't realized the Packers had won that many titles. I'm a big fan of Vince Lombardi, and had the deluxe glass-and-wood-framed speech on winning on my desk for years. But, I have a fondness for the Steelers, being an Easterner as it were.

Looking at those clouds, I'd hope somebody remembered an umbrella, especially when…[Read more]

Dog looks pleased enough at the admiration. 🙂 And it's remarkably good for the combination of speed and aperture.

Spot size might be OK – more to follow.

The new lens and its host:

Recently returning to waterfall photography. Those are very tricky. I need to capture light from various parts, some quite distant. Spot-metering on the xV is helpful for this, but would be more effective if the spot can be reduced in size, and made circular/elliptical instead of or in addition to rectangular, vertical or horizontal orientation,…[Read more]

Craig,

I really enjoyed your photos. I have been reviewing photos of Iceland for the last couple years now and researching for a trip to Icenland for myself. You have some images of the Iceland coastline on your website that I haven't seen before and would like to see in person. Thank you for posting.

:rolleyes: This post is so great and nice :p

It is the last optical/mechanical update of the Zeiss 40mm lens for the Hasselblad V mount cameras, and is much improved over the previous CFi 40/4 FLE. There was also a CF 40/4.

My order is in also with Leica Store Miami. I like the white, can't wait. Will make a great boat/party/take anywhere camera. Love the Wifi feature and EVF!

New Nocti arrived, snapped a few MM images – awesome detail, back in business.
